Announcing... RiffMasters!

Hodaddy

Let's see ... i don't have a Jazzmaster around atm, so i used a flatwounds-equipped T-type w/ P-90s (but Teles are OK as per the video).
Pounding drums? Check.
Relatively simple and repetitive twangy pentatonic-based melody w/ some dissonance picked close to the bridge? Done.
Is it drenched and dripping wet with time-based fx? Yes indeed.
(Reverb, echo, and tremolo, all in the house courtesy of the HX Stomp and onboard stuff in the DAW.)
Tick tock (a/k/a 'ticky tack') muted guitar part included? Yeppers.
Over 1 minute long? For sure!

OK, that's my take on 21st century surf music!
i hope you folks will enjoy it.
Well done !! Drippy wet for sure, dreamy surfy.
 
Aynirar and C-grin both drop in on a sweet roller laying down a mix of old school and new school tricks

...I'm just unpacking from my camp trip, showering up, and cleaning out the RV for the season here so busy day... but I'll get that vote going tonight for the Official Huitar Duel... gonna be a barn burner fo' sho'!

I forgot to post a pic of all the pink guitars I used for the surf track!

Left to right is a parts strat, MJT body and Musikraft neck, Joel Dyer greasy hot pickups. The neck is a beautiful one piece flamed maple neck/fretboard. Best neck I own

The Squier in the middle I got for my girls but it is a joy to play. I put some old square tab dimarzios in it because I can’t help myself.

On the end is a tele body from bloomdoom and a neck from Park Lane. Pickups are Manlius broadcaster and T-90. It’s a rock and roll machine

ITS TIME FOR ANOTHER GUITAR DUEL VOTE BEACH PARTY!

64db987e536ad9982dba43a590d50e98.gif

After a couple of false starts, we asked duellists Frosty2jr and C-Grin to lay down some tradstyle surf to help inspire
the rest of us and extend the summer with a beach party blowout we won't soon forget

Surf music (also known as surf rock, surf pop, or surf guitar) is a genre of rock music associated with surf culture, particularly as found in Southern California. It was especially popular from 1958 to 1964 in two major forms.[7] The first is instrumental surf, distinguished by reverb-heavy electric guitars played to evoke the sound of crashing waves, largely pioneered by Dick Dale and the Del-Tones. The second is vocal surf, which took elements of the original surf sound and added vocal harmonies, a movement led by the Beach Boys.

Dick Dale developed the surf sound from instrumental rock, where he added Middle Eastern and Mexican influences, a spring reverb, and rapid alternate picking characteristics. His regional hit "Let's Go Trippin'", in 1961, launched the surf music craze, inspiring many others to take up the approach.

The genre reached national exposure when it was represented by vocal groups such as the Beach Boys and Jan and Dean Dale was quoted on such groups: "They were surfing sounds [with] surfing lyrics. In other words, the music wasn't surfing music. The words made them surfing songs. ... That was the difference ... the real surfing music is instrumental."

Here's what our two competitors brought us...

Any TTR Member is welcome to lay a surf track down for this contest for a point. Actually I take that back. Not true.
Two potential duellists were found unable to pick up the gauntlet when challenged for this duel, members
@Oldiemurphy and @Clockworkmike . They can still make the music but are ineligible to gain any points for this duel,
or any other for the remainder of the first RiffMasters series, but only this round and round ten remain.
